I am willing to travel as well as working with the local yacht clubs to get our fleets recognized in the regattas here if there is any interest.

I moved to the carolinas a couple of months ago ... There are a few boats up in RI ... and I think that's it.

So the Buzzards Bay Regatta decided not to include us because we didn't pre-register before some secret cut-off date, so we are going to host a regatta of our own in Newport the same weekend. Friday will be informal rabbit start racing/clinicy stuff, with Sat course racing and Sunday course racing and possibly a long distance race around Connanicut Island. We will be based out of Sail Newport. The Newport Folk Fest will be going on at the same time which will make things a little hectic, but should just add to the fun (lots of good acts, incl. Allman Bros.) In fact we may come in a little early Sat so we can rent kayaks and join the anchorage party-always a fun scene.

Regatta fees will be MINIMAL, and we will not have to deal with the multi-class BS that was sure to be a part of BBR.

where are you from? i have a penny in new london, ct, would love to do another race before the weather closes in. Just got back from the High Performance Dinghy Open in NY this past weekend. Unfortunatly, i dont know of any races coming up anytime soon. Oh well..
